Does your MC crash too?

I've had crashes happen frequently in stacks that require a lot of 
memory.  Even though Metacard can "grab" more memory if it needs it, 
I've found that for those stacks, Metacard's memory must be set to a 
fairly high number in the Get Info box (Mac OS).  I don't know if 
Windows has the same offering.  Where you can adjust the memory 
setting of a program.  Now instead of crashing with a Type 2 error * 
every time I try to use the stack *, it only crashes if I've been in 
and out of several stacks that use bunches of memory.  (Yes, all the 
stacks are set to be forgotten on close.  So the data should not 
linger in memory, but it does.)

I've found that sometimes the data lingers in memory even after I've 
totally quit out of Metacard.  And causes everything I do thereafter 
to hang.  The best fix then is to reboot the computer to clear it all 
out.
